Six Cases Involve Cannabis Inventory Tracking
METRC is Michigan’s seed-to-sale tracking system, used to account for cannabis products moving through the state’s licensed supply chain.
The CRA identified six disciplinary records involving METRC noncompliance:
Business City CRA case LaHaze Cannabis Company Cheboygan ENF-26-00234 Alchemy Wellness LLC Cassopolis ENF-26-00333 Joyology of Quincy Quincy ENF-23-00091 Joyology of Reading Reading ENF-22-00593 GreenCo Ventures LLC Hastings ENF-26-00332 JNN Property LLC Fife Lake ENF-26-00156
LaHaze was cited for METRC noncompliance and noncompliant sales.
BRT Capital 3 LLC, which operates the Joyology locations in Quincy and Reading, was cited for METRC violations and noncompliant transfers between marijuana businesses at both locations. The Quincy case also involved general operational issues.
JNN Property’s disciplinary record includes METRC, surveillance and general operational violations.
The CRA’s summary does not detail the specific inventory discrepancies or establish whether the two Joyology cases involved related incidents.
Security And Reporting Violations
Dragonfly Kitchen II Inc., doing business as Dragonfly Vega in Bangor, accounts for 12 disciplinary records involving 12 cultivation licenses.
The records cite failures to report material changes involving physical locations or operations, along with surveillance and security violations.
Each record lists a fine. However, the 12 records should not be interpreted as 12 independent incidents without examining the underlying enforcement documents.
Elsewhere, Upper Shelf Farms LLC, doing business as Elevated Exotics in Menominee, was cited for surveillance and security violations.
Packaging, Sales And Production
Several businesses were disciplined for violations involving packaging, advertising, cannabis handling and sales.
Premier Cannabis Co. 2 in Saginaw was fined and ordered to submit documents and complete training for packaging and advertising violations. Case ENF-26-00211.
Noble Road Company in Lansing received fines in two enforcement cases involving noncompliant handling and production, and packaging and advertising. Cases ENF-21-00150 and ENF-21-00291.
Mango Cannabis in Lansing was cited for noncompliant sales. Case ENF-26-00301.
In Warren, Pure X LLC faced a disciplinary action involving noncompliant handling and production, while Sky Cannabis LLC, doing business as Sky Brands, was cited for packaging and advertising violations.
The report does not establish that unsafe cannabis products reached consumers.
Businesses Cited For Reporting Failures
Other enforcement records involved failures to report changes in business operations, facilities or legal entities.
Highwire Farms was cited at locations in Adrian and Coldwater. Cherry Industries in Detroit was cited for legal entity reporting violations.
Farming Management in Lansing faced actions involving legal entity reporting, physical or operational changes and Bureau of Fire Services requirements.
Holy SmokZ in Warren was cited for failing to report physical or operational changes.
These requirements are part of the regulatory responsibilities facing Michigan’s licensed cannabis businesses.
Four Nonrenewals And One Application Denial
In its separate Denied Application and Non-Renewed License Report, the CRA identified five licensing decisions:
- Marcellus Investment Group LLC, Marcellus: one nonrenewal.
- Mota Boutique Co., Middleville: one denied application.
- Hello Farms Licensing MI LLC, Au Gres Township: three nonrenewals.
These decisions are separate from the disciplinary fines and should not be described as license revocations.
What The Report Establishes
All 36 disciplinary records list fines, but the published summary does not disclose their individual dollar amounts.
The report also includes three records with July mailing dates. Consequently, its September publication period should not be interpreted as the dates when all violations occurred.
Readers can review the complete September disciplinary register and search for individual licensees and enforcement documents through the CRA’s public licensing database.
The September findings show that inventory tracking, security, reporting and operational requirements remain significant areas of regulatory enforcement across Michigan’s cannabis industry.
COMING IN PART 2: MITechNews will examine the financial penalties and underlying violations in greater detail as individual disciplinary documents become available. The follow-up will explore what businesses were ordered to pay and whether similar compliance problems have appeared in earlier enforcement reports.
